Electronic Business, commonly referred to as "eBusiness" or "e-Business", may be defined as the utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in support of all the activities of business.

Electronic business methods enable companies to link their internal and external data processing systems more efficiently and flexibly, to work more closely with suppliers and partners, and to better satisfy the needs and expectations of their customers.

E-business involves business processes spanning the entire value chain: electronic purchasing and supply chain management, processing orders electronically, handling customer service, and cooperating with business partners. Special technical standards for e-business facilitate the exchange of data between companies. E-business software solutions allow the integration of intra and inter firm business processes. E-business can be conducted using the Internet, intranets, extranets, or some combination of these.

HAMILTON, Bermuda: The Bermuda Government’s Department of E-Commerce has released research that shows e-business has a strong position in both the existing plans and future visions of Bermuda-based companies. 

“For companies outside Bermuda who might be looking for a jurisdiction in which to establish an e-commerce presence, this is good news,” says Nigel Hickson, E-Commerce Consultant with the Department. “A strong local demand for the skills, the infrastructure, and the regulatory environment that supports e-commerce is good for international companies, whether they are already doing business in Bermuda or thinking of establishing here.”

Fujitsu has successfully delivered a number of e-business solutions across the Caribbean through a combination of innovative application of our own technologies and that of our "best of breed" partners.
